Editing Blog: Things Switched

 Therefore, while not entirely incorrect, we completed the last task's filming portion incorrectly. The movie is meant to be a movie's opening scene. Rather than that, we filmed an entire short film. They gave me permission to modify this time as I had a fix request. They provided me with assistance when I needed it. But since I claimed to have Davinci Resolve, we decided it would be better for me to edit the movie. Mai'lyia captured a scene outside her home, which we were in need of. I think I will be the one to combine the footage to make it appear like an opening scene. This is done with the intention of not giving away the entire storyline or content. As I chose the fonts, I will provide the text, titles, and information about production and editing. Ludji agreed that it would be better if we skipped over the portion of the phone conversation that involved her and me. While the opening process should only last a minimum of one minute and fifty-seven seconds, this...

Editing Blog: Setbacks

Image
We started editing. Editing our film proved to be quite challenging as we grappled with differing opinions on its direction. Complicating matters further, we edited the film over FaceTime, hindering our ability to collaborate face-to-face. We were having issues understanding what as required. Initially, we deliberated on the title sequence and the opening shot, having already settled on the font but entertaining some last-minute ideas. Unfortunately, these last-minute ideas were non-negotiable due to their prior mention in our blogs. We decided to feature Mai'lyia's in part of the film, showcasing details like the title, actors, and production company. However, an unexpected realization during editing added to our frustration. The instructions specified that we were creating an opening sequence for a movie, emphasizing the challenge of capturing the essence of a film's beginning. This, particularly frustrating for me as the one who discovered it, led to the need for adjustm...

Filming Blog: The Beginning!

Image
 To be honest, filming was enjoyable and fairly simple. Ludji and I spent the weekend at Mai'Lyia's house so we could shoot. It was easy but challenging at the same time as we were filming. Being videotaped can be uncomfortable at times, but also funny. To get an outstanding video, we had to reshoot a lot of the scenes. We spent almost three hours filming the video which felt like a longer time. Many times, background noise or someone laughing would cause the scenes to sound off, so we would have to start over. We shot in a variety of locations across Mai'lyia's house. We filmed in, the living room, kitchen, back of the home, her room, her sister's room, and her brother's room. The laundry room and dryer in the back of the house served as the primary location or scene for the video. To add even more of an unsettling atmosphere, recordings were made at the back. We also waited to film till it was darker because we needed some darkness during the filming. Ludji wa...
